It's not taken away, you just can't get VP items by doing it that way. They may have been doing it for years but that's exactly why Blizzard's trying to break that habit.
I agree with some of your sentiment about the daily quests though, but really KILL X COLLECT Y kind of applies to questing in general. Questing has improved a lot in WoW's lifetime and is pretty streamlined at the moment, but is it just getting repetitive? Normally I love questing but while leveling I noticed I was getting kind of weary of it all. Then again dungeons aren't that much better, it's just KILL ENDBOSS and skip as much trash as you can on the way.
But I think if they ever find a way to supersede quest content it'll be such a radical departure from WoW it'll really be a whole new game. Maybe something along the lines of GW2, though I haven't played that so I can't comment :P
